Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Crazy to think he was murdered.

Edit: the president, not the dog.

[–] RacoonVegetable@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for the edit, because I was about to commit a hate crime.

[–] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah the president can go fuck himself I guess.

[–] force@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Well yea he was assassinated for a very good reason, there's a reason his approval ratings TANKED after people found out why the guy killed him.

[–] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Yeah that is why I kind of despise outrages. It comes not at the sign of trouble, but at the sight of drama. In this case it waited up until it was no longer even that much of a thing while it poisoned politics for over 2 decades.

The guy did nothing of positive note, it was plain bloody revenge and people cheered for it, at least that is what you are saying.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 years ago

It helped expose a lot of government connections to the moonies, so something positive came out of it. Abe kinda sucked anyway. The conservatives have held power in Japan for literally like 60 years (minus a couple years right before the 2011 tsunami).

[–] dasgoat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Amazing execution, good cause, excellent effects. I like it.

[–] Assman@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The reason is even crazier

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Shinzo_Abe

Tl;dr the killer held a grudge against this religion (cult) which Abe helped spread in Japan. His mother had given all of the family's money to them and basically ruined the entire family's lives.

And succesfully using a makeshift gun at a rare occasion of Abe visiting his town. The whole story reeks of wtf moments. Reddit was mad when it started to uncover.

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As an American I both respect and fear that man's ability to redneck engineer a working gun and kill a president

[–] qyron@sopuli.xyz 0 points 2 years ago

Surprisingly enough, makeshift guns are plentiful and incredibly ingenious. Some are even made with completely out of the box thinking.

I've seen guns made from these, steel pipes turned into single shot rifles and even muzzle loaders.

And then she went on to become a brand "ambassador" for one of the shadiest oil companies on the planet. Truly living the dream.

[–] SaakoPaahtaa@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

And found to have been on gear the entire time

PED

spoilerperformance enhancing drugs, for your next question

[–] nandeEbisu@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You don't understand, there was a pet dog at stake!

[–] Cannacheques@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 years ago

I think anyone would love to be that dog alright hahaha

[–] Thrashy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's Russia, shady AF companies are the only kind they have. If you're not owned by the Russian Mafia and/or a sociopathic silovik, it's only a matter of time until you're sold out or the victim of a hostile takeover.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 25 points 2 years ago

The Akita (dog) Museum in Akita Prefecture has some posters and such of her around.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The question is: What has the dog done to achieve VIP status?

Username checks out

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

I'm glad she got the dog, but an Akita as a first dog wouldn't be my suggestion.

Akita is like advanced-level dog.

Who is your favourite figure skater ?

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] kwking13@lemm.ee 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wonder what he'd do if he were here...

[–] be_excellent_to_each_other@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I bet he'd kick an ass or two.

[–] kwking13@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

THAT'S what Brian Boitano'd do!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago

Dude's legit. He wanders around Del Mar just having fun for the most part. He also tells any kid that's giving their parents crap about pads and a helmet, "Hey there, I'm Tony Hawk, and I have broken every bone in my body while wearing the pads and helmet. I know they don't look cool, but you know what's even less cool? Brain damage." It gets through to most of them, though some of them legit don't know who he is these days.

It's TONYA Harding.

Does anybody here even watch my movies?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Hey I was like 12 when Kerrigan kneecapped her. I'm lucky I remember her name at all, lol.

Oh and don't take it personally. I just don't care for TV or Movies

[–] Thade780@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

For me, definitely Surya Bonaly. Guess my answer shows my age, lol.

I remember watching the 98 Winter Olympics and screaming in awe when she landed with a single blade after he backflip.

Absolutely phenomenal.

[–] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago

Katerina Witt. Because of one performance I saw during my especially formative years.

Can't be that good -- just got kicked off of Strictly.

[–] kwking13@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sasha Cohen. Sadly it never quite all came together for her, but she was so elegant on ice.

[–] GabrielBell12fi@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Didn't he play Borat?

[–] LilB0kChoy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago
[–] xantoxis@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

Imagine trying to tell this child a single thing for the rest of her life

[–] quinkin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

In my experience with teenagers and dogs there is no way she would be walking it. There will be a disgruntled parent standing in a park waiting to clean up a presidentially ordained victory shit.
